The first U.S. ambassador to visit Taiwan after the break in diplomatic relations, the United States is no longer taboo official contacts?
Palau President Huizhuren visited Taiwan yesterday 28, the U.S. ambassador to Palau accompanied, which is also the first U.S. ambassador to visit Taiwan since the break in diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the United States in 43 years. Scholars analyze this move to show that the United States has not been shy about contact with Taiwan through official relations. The framework of the U.S. and Taiwan Relations Act is proceeding in a positive and active direction.
The Central News Agency reported that Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. arrived in Taiwan on the afternoon of the 28th with a visiting delegation, and Huizhu pointed out that U.S. Ambassador John Hennessey-Niland was accompanying him, and Palau benefited from U.S. help. Without Hennessy Niland, Palau would not have been able to receive the first batch of vaccines in January and participate in the U.S. rapid vaccination program; today’s trip was made possible by the joint efforts of Taiwan, Palau and the United States.
Lin Ting-hui, deputy secretary general of the International Law Institute of Taiwan, pointed out that the visit of the U.S. ambassador to Taiwan is not trivial, and the U.S. did not shy away from sending the Palau ambassador to Taiwan, which is another kind of cooperative relationship between Taiwan, the U.S. and a third country, thereby building a triangular governmental relationship model, the first since the break in diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the U.S.
He pointed out that Taiwan, Palau and the United States have been working together to combat the new pneumonia, such as Taiwan providing masks and the United States providing vaccines and medical resources to Palau, opening a successful case of joint cooperation between the three parties.
Lin said that although Palau is a small country, the U.S. ambassador to Palau is still an Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and can represent the United States and the President of the United States, which shows that the U.S. policy toward Taiwan has shifted to a more positive orientation; not only is the Taipei Act a concrete demonstration, but also shows that the U.S. side is no longer stuck in the framework of the Taiwan Relations Act, and is moving in a positive and active direction.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a statement Saturday (March 27) condemning the Chinese Communist Party‘s unwarranted sanctions against two U.S. religious affairs officials, saying the move was clearly retaliatory because the United States sanctioned Chinese officials for human rights violations in Xinjiang.
The statement warned, “Beijing‘s attempts to intimidate and silence those who speak out for human rights and fundamental freedoms will only contribute to increasing international scrutiny of the ongoing genocide and Crimes Against Humanity in Xinjiang. We stand with Canada, the UK, the EU and other partners and allies around the world in calling on China (the Communist Party) to stop violating and trampling on the human rights of members of the predominantly Muslim Uighur and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang and to release those who are being arbitrarily detained.”
Later that evening, Blinken also tweeted a brief statement warning again that “Beijing’s attempts to silence criticism of serious human rights violations in Xinjiang will only prompt increasing international scrutiny.”

Cruz said, “It’s unfortunate that your policy tries to hide them. I understand that you were instructed to do that.” “I respect them, and I want to correct the current situation, and the authority you work for is responsible for these situations.”
Cruz said, “These are the things that the Biden Administration doesn’t want Americans to see, and that’s why they’re not allowing the media in. This is Customs Border Protection in Downer, Texas. This is a human and public safety crisis.”

U.S. Secretary of State John Blinken suggests in a 28-day interview that the Biden administration will not punish China for the way Beijing handled the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, but will instead emphasize the importance of preparing for future outbreaks.
Central News Agency (CNA) reports that CNN reported that Antony Blinken was interviewed by Dana Bash, host of CNN’s State of the Union program, during a visit to Brussels, Belgium. The interview touched on a wide range of issues.
During the interview, Blinken said he said it was necessary to “hold people accountable for the past” and echoed other Biden administration officials in calling for Beijing to be open and transparent about the 2019 outbreak. But he stressed that the Biden administration’s “focus needs to be on building a more robust system for the future.
Blinken’s statement is a far cry from the tough language used by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Trump administration on related issues. Pompeo and some Trump Administration officials have called COVID-19 the “Wuhan virus” and called for the Chinese Communist Party to be punished.
